RBS50/RBR50 Flashing White Lights After Voxel Firmware Update

[MusicMad]

Hi All,

So reading up on the Voxel Firmware it looks amazing and was hoping it would fix the various Orbi issues I had.

I've today attempted to deploy the Voxel Firware to both my RBR50 and RBS50 units and they've all gone into a state of a slow "breathing" flashing white light. Other than that they seem totally dead, cannot ping (unless the IP address has changed?) and no WiFi SSID being broadcast.

Has anyone else seen this/had this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Happened to me as well. Were you on 2.7.x firmware when you flashed Voxel? Apparently that is an issue and soft bricks you device.

You will have to tftp the stock firmware to your devices to fix them.

When you get your devices working, you can downgrade to 2.5.x stock and then flash voxel again.

Good luck

Thanks - managed to restore using the TFTP. I was on 2.6.x firmware.

Will try and downgrade first to 2.5.x then perform the Voxel firmware upgrade.

Thanks again.
